[@ae4164]

If they had so much passion they would have read their lines through instead of stumbling over them the first time and then doing them properly the second time once they realized how they were supposed to say it.

[@jena5634]

Erik jeez, because everyone with passion gets things 100% right all the time. Never done any kind of acting, have ya?

[@ae4164]

Jen A It's not about getting it right the first time, it's about them clearly not reading the lines through before attempting them. I don't think you've done much acting if you think that's acceptable.

[@jena5634]

Erik for the level of voice acting they are doing it's completely acceptable. They have to do hundreds and hundreds of lines, and are probably pretty amateur. They are of course allowed to read it out first without properly grasping it in their head as a trial, they didn't expect their first tries on some of the lines to ever be used

[@juliettami77]

When it's hundreds or thousands of canned lines across multiple characters, yes, it's absolutely acceptable to read it wrong a few times before getting a good take. A really shitty voice actor would be someone who read it once just decently and then decided they couldn't do it better.

It can do the opposite for others, ripping you out of an experience entirely just like in a movie or show. Guess it depends on whether someone finds it charming or amateurish. (And when I say that I don't mean the actors, I mean the people who kept these mistakes in the games.) Having Outtakes as extras is a better way of showing off the behind the scenes stuff then just leaving in mistakes.

To be fair, it's a pretty easy mistake to make.

[@XanderEwald]

Listening carefully to each recorded line is a main part of the job though. Really shouldn’t happen, especially multiple times in a project. And even if it does, QC should find and remove mistakes like this.

[@Katalystic]

@@XanderEwald yup, that’s what should happen, and what does happen when you’re not given an impossible deadline. I’ve heard this game was incredibly rushed, so cutting corners is understandable. Those doing the individual jobs probably don’t have the final say on if the game release is delayed or not. Might’ve had no choice. I don’t know much about this game. But I have experienced a deadline where I worked an entire day, night, and morning without break and I was still late to school, and it wasn’t because I had procrastinated, but rather because of unforeseen circumstances. So in my opinion, the weird thing to me isn’t the cutting of the corners, but rather the need to, meaning someone’s desicion not to delay the game’s release

There's usually a pause between the takes so you can see on the audio file where one take ends and the next one begins.

You know, I actually think the argonian is more realistic this way. Most characters are written to speak perfectly as if they are robots, they never mess up or twist their tongue trying to say something and when scripts try to force it, it comes across as a bit superficial. This error from a real human being, left in the game ironically adds a little realism to the script. The elf is just hilarious though, rather than accidentally making a character more immersive, its like a fourth wall break that shatters immersion.

[@MaxLohMusic]

​@@Top-Lip Movies do the same thing though. They prefer a professional dramatic-sounding tone as opposed to a totally realistic one; that's why people don't ever talk over each other or say "um" or mess up their words. Once in a blue moon they do inject such things and it seems to add a ton of realism. I wonder if the future trend is to tend more towards realism and they'll look back at today's movies and be like "wow so cheesy and melodramatic".

I like how they didn’t animate for the re-recording. so it looks like the NPCs have their mouths open, confused about what’s going on and when it will end.

IrritationNation That’s because these technically aren’t animated. The game is basically fed the dialogue in text and these lines, and it tries to match them the best it can. The text didn’t have the flubbed line so it probably doesn’t realise it’s still meant to be lip syncing.

[@KitGusta]

chesekake You clearly don't know how acting work. Go search for voice acting on games and even on normal acting on movies, it's pretty common to do test takes before starting the real takes. They only do a "one take" reccording if they are doing a really hard perfomance, like for example during Red dead redemption 1 they had to make the whole performance in one take Because at that time the capture didn't had the "cut", but on almost every game, includding Bethesda games who don't use performance capture, they have the option to cut their takes and that's the job of the edditing crew. Even Roger Clark, probably one of the best Voice actors ever has said that sometimes the Voice actor has to test things first to find the best way to deliver the line.

In fact, I feel kind of sorry for them. Poor fellas have to suffer through all this shit just to get made fun of thanks to the editors, and get a tiny amount of money.
